Videogame Collecting Haul March 2023: Import Finds, Neo Geo Pocket Color Grail, and Magazine Finds

[@ryanpyle9822]

Awesome pickups, I love your PS1 spotlight series so I'll be looking forward to that video. I really need to recap my game gear as well, mine has major screen issues. Is it a beginner's level job?

[@Bubblun1]

Thanks! That depends on your cap repair experience. There's 5 surface mounts on the sound board that are a pain. I found out after you can buy a plug and play repro sound board though. The main board is a little intricate and depends on the amount of leakage you may be dealing with. I'd say Moderate experience with soldering at least.

[@ryanpyle9822]

@@Bubblun1 Maybe not good then for a first timer. I should try soldering some batteries on some cheap SNES game maybe.

Great to see you man. Love the splatterhouse 3 manual. I've been getting into completing a namco set for genesis. Picked up rolling thunder 3 last month

[@Bubblun1]

Don't forget to get all the bespoke Namco boxes with the stamped branding inside the case :P I may have that subset already, need to check on a couple of the commons. Rolling Thunder 3 is a nice find!

[@Guns7469]

@Bubblun yeah man, that's exactly what is taking me so long to do it. Gets pricey when the seller has the original Namco stamp like you mentioned.

I had no idea that Monster Rancher Battle Card was a thing, now I want a copy. So happy you are that much closer to competing the NGPC collection. I trying too, but I’m way behind. MGC didn’t have a single complete NGPC game! Sigh. Very excellent manual pick ups!

[@Bubblun1]

Crazy even at these large cons NGPC stuff doesn't exist! It's easier to find a Stadium Events NES lol.

Never seen psycho pinball. Congrats on the splatterhouse manual. I need a punisher manual. Those old game informers were good back in the day.

[@Bubblun1]

I need a Punisher manual and tattoo, probably going to take a long time to find both.

[@BillB808]

The monster rancher explorer on gbc game is an absolute gem. It is Solomons club 2...it just doesn't say it is (apart from JP where it is named Solomon)

[@Bubblun1]

Agreed! I have that one CIB and love it.

[@mrj9881]

are you going for any complete system sets such as ps1?

[@Bubblun1]

Just NGPC at the moment.
